GRIP & GRIT

I did a Instagram TV post about this a while ago, but I have learned some new stuff about it, so I am passing it on to you.

My wife has been in healthcare many years and one thing she said that really caught my attention was that grip strength was an indicator of a person’s longeveity.

Wow! How strange is that?

I decided to do some rearch on that and found this informatve article on Reuters

Yup, she was right (again).

I have had a big interest in grip training ever since I started following Jedd Johnson about 15 years ago. We do a lot of grip training at the Cave.

Here Jedd shows some simple grip exercises that can be done with a sledge hammer.

A steel mace could also be used for this.

At the Cave we also use a Strongman axle bar, isometrics, 3″steel grip balls, Eagle Loops, wrist roller, FatGripz, and Neuro Grips to build hand, wrist, and forearm strength which all increase grip strength.

You have to be intentional about building this kind of strength.

You have to do it on purpose.

You have to do it when you don’t feel like it.

You have to have good old-fashioned grit!

HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE AND YOU HAVE TO BE LIFELONG STRONG TO PREPARE

Right now we have two tropical storms which can become hurricanes in a matter of hours heading into the Gulf of Mexico at the same time. Thank God, they are not heading directly towards our coast where I live. Here’s one of them.

(photo removed)

We have had numerous hurricanes in the past that have come right up the Gulf Coast.

So do we prepare for a hurricane?

First we pray for protection from the Lord.

Next I start putting up all our hurricane shutters and there are quite a few of them.

They are supposed to withstand winds of 150 mph and sometimes you have to put them up fast.

Since I am almost 70 years young, some people would think I need to hire a young guy to it. Nope, I can handle it. I have been blessed with a good level of strength all my life and I am very thankful.

There are also may other things that need to get done before a hurricane, but that’s no problem.

Be lifelong strong!
